The Cleveland Browns claimed Jonathan Cooper, the seventh overall pick from the 2013 NFL Draft, off waivers this week from the New England Patriots. The Browns will be Cooper’s third team in the last two years.
Cooper was originally drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, a pick that was praised as a smart move for the Cardinals as Cooper was billed as a “plug-and-play” lineman out of North Carolina. However, things did not turn out that way for several reasons.
Cooper sustained a serious leg injury in 2013 as he broke his leg in the third preseason game.
